The action required will depend on the type of stain and your belt's material. Have a read through all our care tips
Here are a few general tips:
- Act quickly: The faster you treat the stain, the easier it will be to remove.
- Test the cleaning product: Before applying a product across the entire surface, test it on a small, less visible section.
- Follow the instructions: Always follow the cleaning products' instructions for use.
For common stains:
- Greasy stains: Use terre de Sommières (Montmorillonite clay powder) or talcum powder. Sprinkle the powder over the stain, leave for several hours, then brush off.
- Water-based stains: Dry the belt with a soft, absorbent cloth.
- Coloured stains: For coloured stains, use a cleaning product designed specifically for use on leather
Your leather belt is an investment. To ensure it stays with you for many years, it is important to give it the care it deserves. Regular maintenance will enable the leather to preserve its natural beauty and prevent it from drying out or fading.

A correctly adjusted belt will generally fasten at the third hole. There are several ways for you to determine your size:
Based on your pant size (FR): Our size-match tables will show you your equivalent belt size.
By measuring: Belt size is measured from the start of the buckle to the belt's middle hole. Measuring your waistline with a measuring tape will give you an accurate measurement. Then check our size-match tables
Based on where it's being worn: Your belt size depends on where you wear it. If you wear it at your hips, allow approximately an extra 10 cm more than if you're wearing it at your waist.
